Take high quality, well lit photos and post consistently. Tag brands you are wearing on instagram for a possible feature/regram. Use relevant hashtags and post at peak times of the day. Instagram now has analytics that show you what times have the best engagement from your audience.

To edit photos taken on my phone, I use Afterlight, VSCO and Snapseed are all my favorites.

Must-Have: Cardigan for Summer to Fall

Happy Sunday! I hope you all are having a nice weekend. Michael had to travel for work this weekend, so my lil sis came and stayed with me and the kids. It’s been so nice to just hang out with her since the past several months has just been so busy with her wedding. We took the kiddos to a petting zoo, drank wine, organized my bathroom cabinets and drawers and watched the Killing on Netflix… a perfect weekend if you ask me!

I wanted to share this amazing cardigan with you all. When I saw it in store I immediately fell in love with it. It’s so soft, I love the loose knit detail and oversized fit. Perfect for the cooler nights as summer starts to wind down and will be great for fall with booties and a flannel.
